Poem
An Ode To LIFE As I lay my head down and start to fall asleep I see myself being carried off to a place and time the place of our Lords birth in Bethlehem of Judea As in the Bible tells the story of His life and how he lived and died in that human seance and rose on the day He told of I do not remember being here but I remember the story I was taught so many years ago As I walk through the streets of Bethlehem I see each scene and hear every word as I am learning the story they telling is true The writer writes of a jealous King and his way of dealing with his people and of Mary and Joseph who came to Bethlehem to have a child The story tells of the three wise men who saw a star in the north and heard of a child who was born to be the King of the Jews and come to see and bring Him gifts An angel from the Heavens above came to Mary and Joseph in a dream and told them they had to leave Bethlehem or King Herod would have their son killed So they left Bethlehem and went to Egypt and there they lived until King Herod no longer ruled As I follow along in my dream I see each scene and hear every word as I am puzzled by the fact I understand each I don’t understand why I’m going through this time but I know I must continue on this journey As I am pulling through a time where I reach the place of Jesus’ in Nazareth of Galilee As I watched Him grow and work in His father's shop I could see the thing in Him that were with me As I walk along the streets and look around I hear the people talk of a child that speaks of wondrous love that’s all forgiving and of a Father in Heaven that’s loving and true.
